Baest will be shutting down on November 8th.

Why? A few reasons.

1. This is getting expensive and time consuming to run.

2. God has other plans for me and trying to continue running all of this would hold me back.

3. I want to spend less time on the internet.

4. I'm a very different person and in a much different situation from when I started.


One of the main reasons I started running a fedi instance was I had a bunch of free time because I couldn't work.

I've had a great time and met lots of wonderful people.

Honestly, if it weren't for fedi I'm not sure where my life would be but probably somewhere very different and not as good. I know I wouldn't be able to give Cornbread a home.

I want to thank everyone for hanging in here with me all this time. I'm sorry I'm shutting it down. This isn't an easy decision to make and I do feel guilty about it.

Don't worry, I'm not leaving fedi and I really hope this doesn't cause any Baest users to leave fedi. I just have more important things I need to focus my time and money on. I'm at least going to make it through the election, though.

Thank you for letting me be a part of all of this for all of these years. I am extremely thankful.
@j Thanks for having us over as long as you've had us.

I'm actually glad to see you putting yourself in a better place in your life. I wish it for all of us. :Salute:
@realman543 @j I'm on lab.nyanide.com. I'll probably just migrate and start looking for an alt elsewhere.
@PurpCat @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @j Ask them. Frens pester frens about alts. It's scientifically proven!
@PurpCat @realman543 @Kerosene @ceo_of_monoeye_dating well it looks like Baest will be migrating to revolver before the 8th so it looks like most stuff (including accounts) won't be going away.
@j @realman543 @Kerosene @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @PurpCat wait, is revolver real?
I always thought it was a schizo hallucination of @p

This actually looks super-badass! 😲
Like flashing the video card with a ROM with updated font went horribly wrong. The only thing that could make it even better is colours suddenly changing to different ones on random πŸ˜„

@m0xee @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @j @Kerosene @PurpCat @Suzu @p They were actually. Deny canvas access to FSEbugoutzone it will probably do it to you too.

@realman543
Lol, no, unfortunately it doesn't work for me β€” but for a different reason: either my proxy denies connection to a particular non-standard port, or I just have websockets disabled entirely in Firefox β€” too lazy to investigate TBH πŸ˜…
I've seen these artifacts before β€” the ones that FF generates instead of denying access to canvas, but with terminal it looks really cool!
